/opt/local/lib/libtidy-0.99.0.dylib does exist on my PowerPC, and  
libtidy-0.99.0 does not. The symlinks do not point at libtidy-0.99.0;  
they point at libtidy-0.99.0.dylib. How are you determining that  
libtidy-0.99.0.dylib does not exist -- by looking at /opt/local/lib  
in the Finder? If so, is your Finder "helpfully" hiding the file  
extension, as it does by default for some file extensions unless you  
tell it not to be so silly? If so, please try looking at the  
directory in the Terminal to see what's really on your disk, by  
typing "ls -l /opt/local/lib/*tidy*"

tidy analyzes HTML and tells you what's wrong with it. To try it out,  
go grab some HTML and test it. For example, grab the source of  
Google's homepage; it's relatively small:

curl -o /tmp/google.html http://www.google.com/

Then run it through tidy:

tidy /tmp/google.html

If it issues various warnings about incorrect HTML in various lines  
of the file, then outputs the corrected HTML, then outputs further  
recommendations for improving the HTML, it's working correctly. Since  
tidy uses libtidy-0.99.0.dylib, that would also indicate that that  
library is working correctly.

If instead you get a message that libtidy-0.99.0.dylib cannot be  
found, then we can confirm that something about that library needs to  
be fixed.

I don't know that there's a particularly good way to do that, no.

I'll try to help but it's difficult since I don't have the same setup  
as you, and on my setup it works correctly.
